has for its object to provide a simple andI durable means for transmitting power at a reductiony of speed. f

-This .form of mechanical movement" is particularly adapted to be applied to a large class ofmachines, as for example hoisting and traction engines where train gearing has commonly been used 4to transmit power and at the same time reduce speed.A

The use of a mechanical movement such as is contemplated by the present invention, precludes all trouble that might arise from inj'ury or. displacement of the various in-l termediate Agears and cog's comprising the geartrain.

With these-and other objects in view, the invention consists of the construction and arrangement-of parts as 'more fully set. forth, illustrated and pointed out in the accompanying specification, drawings and appended claim.

In the drawings similar parts are desig'." nated b'yreferencefletters of like character having inner gear teeth 6. The intermediateeccentric disk 4 has forme? around itsperiphery external gear teeth adapted ,to engage with the internal gear' teeth 6 of the driven wheel 5,. Rigidly secured to the under side of the eccentric gear 4 isa vertically depending rod or member 8, the lower end of which is eccentrically mounted to' the circular head 9 of a-stud- 10 loosely the driving pulley 3 through a belt, or other driving means not shown. The intermedi' ate gear 4 carried on -the reduced hub por' Circular driving motion is imparted to I tion of the driving. pulley. is given an eccentric camming movement, and since the' gearv teeth 7 on its outer peripheryare constantly inmesh with thecorresponding inner teeth 6 of the driven wheel 5, motionsimilar in directionis transmitted thereto. The move- `ment of the intermediate disk 4 is that of Jan ordinary cam and 4is limited by the degree of eccentricity of its mounting in relation to the pin 2. The vpath of movement of an individual tooth during one rotation of the driving pulley 3 is shown diagrammatically by the circular arrow headed line a in Fig. 1. By varying the relative number ofteeth in the two lntermeshing gears, differentre# ductions of speedmay be obtained. In the ,present example the reduction bears a ratio and in the views showing one embodimentof 24 to 1. `Thus one'stroke of the eccentric of the invention. 4 l 1 Figure 1 is a view in elevatlon of 'the parts assembled. Fig. 2 is a vertical s ectiontaken` -onthe line 2- 20f Fig. 1, w1th parts shown ,stud 2. Beyond' this. on the outer portion of the'shank of stud 2, a' driving pulley' 3, having a laterally extending hub of Vreduced diameter, isv loosely andA eccentrlcally mounted. An intermediate disk 4 is loosely carried on the reduced hub portlon of the driv-v ing pulley,'being concentric therewith, but 'like the driving pulley having'eccentric re" lation to the stud 2 and driven wheel 5.

The drivenwheel 5 is-'formed with a ilange ca-mgear'moves the driven gear 1 /24 'of a revolution, -'which result is accomplished by providing the driven gear with ninety-six gear teeth, and the eccentric cam gear with nlnety-two. l.

By having the'lower end 'of the depending rod 8 'mounted upon the stud-head 9 wlth the same eccentric relation Athat the cam gear 4 bears tol the'stud 2, an even Steady movement 4of the parts is assured.

The path of movement of the rod 8- in this form o fmounting is such that the-rod moves always parallel to its original position. All irregularities and jerky movements are thus done away with. This is an important featureand is of great advantage, partielllarly in the application of thedevices to traction machines, wherel asmooth continuous movement is desired.

A mechanlcal movement constructed 1n accordance with the present'invention is adapted for mechanism which partlcularl is to be run at very high speeds, due to the absence of numerous gearing and the per feet balance existing throughout the Workin arts. I-Iving described my invention what I drivengear centrally mounted on said bearing,va driving member eccentrically mount- 10 ed on the bearing, an intermediate cam gear f carried on said driving member and eccentric relation to the bearing and driven gear,

'said intermediate cam gear being in con' Y lstant mesh'with the gear ofthe driven gear,

and a depending member having one end carried by the intermediate cam gear and the other end guided on the frame to move with the same eccentric relation thereto that the cam disk bears to the bearing, substantially as described. l Y

In testimony whereof, I aiiix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
